Vatican launches competition to promote the Social Doctrine of the Church
The ‘Centesimus Annus Foundation’ has launched a contest to promote Christian values in politics, society and economics. A €50,000 award will be given to the person who best explains how Church's Social Doctrine can be used to improve economic and social development. The competition, with June 15th as its deadline, invites all researchers and scholars who published works on the Social Doctrine of the Church, after 1991. The ‘Centesimus Annus’ is a Vatican foundation, that was formed in 1991, after John Paul II published his social encyclical “Centesimus Annus,” the Latin for “The Hundreth Year”, to commemorate 100 years of the Catholic Church’s first social encyclical, “Rerum Novarum” by Pope Leo XIII. Social encyclicals deal precisely with how the social doctrine of the Church can be applied in economics and society at large. The ‘Centesimus Annus Foundation’ aims at spreading the ideas and principles of the Church’s social teaching.
